I'll miss my HOTAS / HOSAS / SIMPIT / DIY Discord channels starting next month.

Anyone knows some alternative Spaces on Matrix by chance?

I'm aware of the tiny https://matrix.to/#/#hotasdiy:matrix.org channel with 21 members. That's something I guess.

Acronyms: HOTAS = Hands on Throttle and Stick

HOSAS = Hands on Stick and Stick

SIMPIT = Simulation/Simulated Cockpit

HomeCockpit FlightSim Joystick Gamepad Controller

♻️ 🙏

Edit: We started collecting a list of spaces / rooms at https://matrix.to/#/#aerospace-space:hacklab.fi Some rooms there are bridged to IRC or even Discord. This includes rooms for the usual suspects, like X-Plane, MSFS, DCS and even Flightgear. YMMV

Sometimes you gotta make the thing you want. Build it, publish it publicly and they'll come.

    That sounds awesome but I don't know if there are enough people for such a niche subject.
    I'm into sim racing, and I know !simracing@lemmy.ml exists, but it's pretty empty 🥲
